More than 100 UncommonGoods customers shared their best photos, videos and stories with us during the last week, and we sure had a hard time picking our favorites. But here they are, the prize-winning pets.<\/p>\n

First Prize:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Molly<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n


\nMolly’s owner Stephanie says: Molly, now 5, was adopted from Liberty Humane Society when she was a small, worm-filled puppy. The world is clearly hers.<\/p>\n

Molly is winning a Found My Dog leash<\/a> from our Found My Dog accessories line.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> The Found My Dog <\/a>line is all about pets and owners finding each other, much like how Molly found Stephanie through the help of the Humane Society.<\/p>\n

Each collar is made in Brooklyn of 100% cotton canvas treated with with animal-safe wax for waterproofing. Each leash is made by professional rope makers in New England and comes with a custom-stamped brass decorative tag.<\/p>\n

Second Prize:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amber & Calvin<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJudith tells us that, “Amber was rescued 4 years ago from a dumpster and Calvin was rescued from a busy street under a porch about a year ago. We worried that Amber would not accept the little boy but obviously we need not have. They adore each other!”<\/p>\n

Since Amber and Calvin get along so well, we thought they might enjoy our new cardboard cat teepee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Cat teepees<\/a> give your four-legged chief somewhere to retire when she’s licked that bowl of tuna clean. Right at home under your roof, the Cat Teepee gives feisty felines a fine tool for ruling any room. Plus, its absorbent walls give you the royal treatment, too, with fibers that nix frisky odors. And as an added bonus, the cat teepee<\/a> is made of 100% recycled cardboard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Third Prize:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ike<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ike was a clear customer favorite, getting the most likes on our Facebook<\/a> wall. Paul writes, “This is our boxer, Ike. 5 yrs ago his breeder wanted him put down because he’s deaf. My wife rescued him & brought him home. He now lives a happy life and spends his days playing with his 2 best friends, our 2 yr old daughter and our 3 legged cat (another rescue.) He’s also enjoys reading in his spare time.”<\/p>\n

Ike seemed so dignified on the couch with his book, that we thought he could use a mustache<\/a>.<\/p>\n
